As JB stated, West Hartford is quite segmented, but you could also look into nearby towns (Bloomfield for example). I'd certainly take a ride up and another good person to speak with would be forum member Kenh as he is from that general area and might have some connections regarding apartments. Best of luck
 
So, I am on the phone with one of our Field Service Technicians helping him trouble shoot and issue. He had me on speakerphone while messing around with plugs and things. So I told him he needed to unscrew the base of the system to get at the USB hub. About a second later I hear a loud ripping sound and him laughing. Yup, my pant's ripping powers have gone mobile. He ripped his pants from his knee all the way up his crotch. He said he looks like a pirate. He still has to do a training with the doctors staff today. I was in tears laughing at my desk.

Southern Illinois' basketball coach went on a pretty good rant yesterday after they didn't play so well. Pretty funny stuff.

Been thinking of a way that I can possibly play. Going to call around and see if there is any place open. I am up for mud golf.

We got a foot and a half of snow over the last three days, and now Friday is supposed to be in the mid-50s and raining. I see no better way to rust up those new Hopkins that were delivered to me yesterday.

I can assure you its not just puppy dogs and ice cream up there. I enjoyed my time, but no where near some other places I have lived. Its very gray for much of the time, its very cold during winter and the cost of living is very high.

Wait -- then why were they handing puppies to everyone when we got off of the plane? They even had their own little ice cream dishes to serve you. It was brilliant!


Ha -- I'm totally aware that I've seen Avon at its absolute best. If I could work there in August and September only, sign me up!
 
Move somewhere where you can shovel sunshine all winter. Forget that snow crap.
 
Just found out my boss passed away today after about a year and a half battle with cancer. Was just a couple months ago things looked good, and everyone thought he was going to be good to go in not long. Crazy how fast things change. Obviously I feel bad for his family, but I really feel bad for his grandson, who along with his daughter, lived with him and his wife. He's pretty young, I want to say 4. His dad is a douche I guess, so my boss was kind of grandpa/father figure, and I know the kid really looked up to him.

Sorry to heat about that, man. That's tough for a 4 year-old.

Serious question: what do you do for the 5-6 months a year where the temperatures are over 100? You're in Arizona, right?

Very sorry to hear this.

My mentor passed away a few years ago after a long battle with cancer. It's an awful disease.
 
Matters where in AZ we only have like a month of 100 degree temps where I am...
Just golf in the evenings or early mornings!

Now Phoenix that's different they don't cool off in the evenings in the summer......

I'm in the Sedona area and tons of golf and it's all year around :D

I was in AZ. I live in SF now and from LA. You play golf at 530 or 6am in the summer. But at least you can still play. Where as with the snow you have no chance. And I live somewhere now where I get to play all year. Its awesome. Other than the taxes and cost of living here lol.
 
I think I'm stuck in Charleston until my lease is up in June! I'm not feeling the same joy and excitement that my wife seems to be feeling, as a matter of fact I'm freezing cold and I'm pretty sure winter hasn't even started yet. Hmmmm.
